I myself have a tru-glo xtreme (great sight)! My personal best....

But I am eyeing up the Viper line and also have always been a fan of Extreme sights!!!

So to answer your ? I would look at the Viper Line??? No personal experience though??

I don't know about the best but i saw some toxonics with the harmonic dampner and the .019 pins and it looked sweet. I would love to have some of those but for now i guess i will stick with my copper johns.

I've had the Toxonic 5 pin for a couple years now and really like it. You can get a light for it but it's pretty bright on it's own at low light. I also have heard alot of good things about Spott Hogg but they sure are pricy.

You're going to get a million different responses to this one...lol. Not one "BEST" sight out there imho. I like my CJ Dead Nuts Comp.

Cobra.....3 or 5 pin, each pin has spools of fiberoptic, super bright, all the pins line up precisely, not like others out there I see. That one shown above, how can pins on angles etc.....all line up left/right? and why machine that difference? if they all are the same length off one surface much easier to line up. rather than calculate angles etc....I hated when i was searchign seeing sights where the pins were off, even just a tad, though quite noticeable, at 40/50yds, is a big difference. I love my cobra, though I'm considering a Trophy ridge, since you can adjust each pin vertically, very precisely, no unscrewing bolts then moving manually up/down and retightening.

My thoughts....Cobra, or Trophy ridge.

been shooting with the Viper predator pro mt for a month or so now....i aint lookin back!!

but, for your average hunter that does just enough target shooting to hit the target and maybe hit the bullseye, id say its way overkill...heck, if i wasnt my biggest competetor(and fan :)) i wouldnt need/want one...im a hunter. i shoot targets and 3d for myself to become the best shot that i can. i dont NEED 150 some dollar sight to shoot deer..but, i want to be the best shot that i can be...and will go the extra mile to do so...the viper definently helped...between the extention and the .010 pins and the microtune, i love it...and its a really solid sight...

Thanks everyone for all your input.

I have/used a Vital Bow Gear Triangle for the first part of the bow season last year. I really like the sight, but I started hunting more and more from ground blinds... and at last light I couldn't see the pins because the glow rings hadn't set in the sun to charge up.... so...

I went with a Spot-Hogg Right On with wrapped Fiber Optic pins.... I've been extremely pleased with it.

What do you want to do with it? Is this sight for targets or deer? I love my CJ DN2 Comp for targets, but I hunt with a G5. I don't believe there is one best sight out there. Take a look at all of them and decided which one will work best for you.

I have a G5 and really like it. My buddy just picked up a Viper and that is a very nice sight too.

Personally I like the Truglo line, I have the new Razr by Truglo and am finding that it is really nice it stops torque, andgives you a larger viewing area

I have to disagree, pendulum sights for the most part are outdated, and don't give you as good of options as either a slider or a multi-pin fixed sight.

As to what IS the best sight, there are so many, and it's all personal preference. The Extreme RT1000 looks pretty nice, though it doesn't appear to have a LOT of fiber. I really like my COBRA Sidewinders, personally, and SPOT HOGG makes a lot of guys list, but who wants to spend that much money on a sight, then spend some more on after market fiber??? I think it depends on what your ultimate intentions are. That G5 sight looks pretty nice, I think picking a sight is kind of like picking a bow though, I don't believe I could tell you what sight is best for you it's more a personal decision, that entails looking at all of them you can to make the best informed decision. Good Luck!!!
